- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a sheet of parchment paper underneath a 6" round baking pan and trace the perimeter. You can optionally use a small springform pan if you have that available.

- Melt chocolate for crust by microwaving in 30 second increments, stirring in between. Add melted butter.

- Melt chocolate in 30 second increments.
- Drizzle melted chocolate onto cheesecake and swirl using a skewer or knife.

If I have a 6″ springform pan, is all the lining with parchment paper necessary? Or was the paper in this recipe just to ease removal from a non-springform pan?
it’s to ease removal.
